Yeah, it's a mystery, isn't it? But you are really maintaining well, imo. Hope you're also feeling a lot better.

Yay, you! That is a wonderful loss. Congratulations! According to the BMI chart, you are at a great weight for your height: http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educ...MI/bmicalc.htm

Something is up with our scales. Our lower scale in PA tells us that we weigh more than our higher scale in NY. I was 121 lbs at 1 pm on Monday on the doctor's scale with my workout clothes on, so I am assuming I'm under 120 lbs in the morning without my clothes. We will get a new battery for the NY scale.

10/1 - 143.4
10/2 - 143.8
10/3 - 144.2
10/4 - 144.2
10/5 - 144.0
10/6 - 143.8

10/17-10/20 - NWI (No Weigh In)
10/21- 146.0
10/22 - 144.6
10/23 - 146.0

So I didn't quite make my goal (low was = 140; goal was 139) but I'll take it and keep on moving.

October high = 146
October low = 140

November Goal = 139

Let's do this!!!!!

Thanks for all the encouragement Hunger! I think this next month I will have to play around with diet + exercise and start thinking about maintenance. I tried on wedding dresses last week and I still have that soft (aka chubby/skinny fat) petite look.

Congrats on not only making, but surpassing your goal, Kristi! Being the same height, I know that's some seriously hard work.

Had to get the calculator out for this one! Super success, Anexia. Do you mind if I ask what your eating program is like? I know you have a great exercise regimen.

That always reminds me of race cars at the starting gate - love it! We both went up less than a pound, so that's not too shabby at all, considering high eating season has started. Onwards and downwards!

Hope it's appropriate to say congrats in advance on nuptials?
